The working-age population can broadly be categorized into two groups: those in the labour force (i.e., employed or actively seeking work) and those not in the labour force (i.e., students, retirees, homemakers, and other individuals who are not seeking employment). This division is useful for analyzing employment trends and labour market dynamics. Choices A, B, C, and E either do not accurately capture the working-age population or are too narrow in scope.
